{"title":"Deftones","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Deftones\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeftones formed in Sacramento, California in 1988. The classic lineup of Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Chi Cheng, and Abe Cunningham (later expanded with Frank Delgado on turntables and keyboards from 1998) signed with Maverick Records and built a sustained career through the late 1990s and 2000s. Chi Cheng was severely injured in a November 2008 car accident and remained in a minimally conscious state until his death in April 2013. Bassist Sergio Vega (formerly of Quicksand) filled the role through 2021; Fred Sablan joined for Ohms (2020) and continues. The band has been widely cited as a defining alternative metal act with significant influence on later generations of heavy music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeftones' sound combines alternative metal, nu metal, post-hardcore, shoegaze, and dream pop with Stephen Carpenter's heavy downtuned guitar work and Chino Moreno's distinctive vocal range moving between intimate melodic singing and screamed vocals. White Pony (2000) is widely regarded as a landmark album that bridged nu metal and more atmospheric, art-rock-adjacent metal aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdrenaline (1995, Maverick)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround the Fur (1997, Maverick)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Pony (2000, Maverick)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeftones (2003, Maverick)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturday Night Wrist (2006, Maverick)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond Eyes (2010, Warner Bros.\/Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKoi No Yokan (2012, Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGore (2016, Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOhms (2020, Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrivate Music (2025, Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal Maverick pressings of White Pony are widely collected.
